Sacramental Plate, from Bomarsund, 1854. Creator: Unknown

Sacramental Plate, from Bomarsund, 1854. Booty from the Crimean War. Amidst the ruins at Bomarsund [in Finland], after the recent bombardment, there was found the Plate represented in the accompanying Illustration. It is of silver, hammered out of the solid metal, of very rude workmanship, and has every appearance of great age. The surface of the Plate, which is gilt, is much defaced by marks which the knife has left, apparently in cutting the Sacramental bread. It is attached to a circular gilt stand, about three inches in height; and formed a portion of a Sacramental service'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
